Week 8 QB fantasy rankings 2026: the early board

QB for Week 8, ranked by market-based projected fantasy points. A number, not an opinion.

Updated Oct 27, 2026 at 11:37 AM ET

Drake Maye leads the early Week 8 QB board at 19.3 points, Jared Goff next at 18.7. 4 of 24 QBs have a Week 8 projection so far; the rest are ranked on their Week 7 projection, tagged in the table, until Week 8 is posted. Refreshed through the day.

Each week's player markets open over Tuesday and Wednesday. Until Week 8 is fully posted, this board ranks every QB on his Week 8 projection where there is one and on his last posted market figure where there is not, and every carried figure is tagged with its week. Players listed Out, Doubtful or on injured reserve are left off.

It is replaced by the full Week 8 board automatically once enough QBs have a projection for the week. The season board sits on the QB rankings page; this one is the week.
